Official | Liam Rosenior appointed Chelsea head coach

Chelsea FC have announced the appointment of Liam Rosenior as head coach. The 41-year-old manager leaves BlueCo-owned Strasbourg to fill the Blues’ managerial vacancy following Enzo Maresca’s dismissal on New Year’s Day. Rosenior has signed a long-term contract with Chelsea that will expire in 2032. “I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed Head Coach of Chelsea Football Club“, Rosenior said. “This is a club with a unique spirit and a proud history of winning trophies.“

Rosenior faced the media this Tuesday morning to announce he would be leaving RC Strasbourg to join the Blues. The former Hull City FC manager added that joining Chelsea will allow him to reunite with his family, who is still living in London. “This opportunity for me is something that I cannot turn down in my life right now.”

“My whole life I have worked to be a coach”, Rosenior said. “To be presented this opportunity to manage a world-class football club is something I’ve dreamed of. I’m emotional. If I didn’t think I was ready, I would not have accepted the job.“
